Broke on 2nd day
By Stephanie Pham
It arrived quickly and had astounding suction. I was thrilled since my basi lost it is suction power. I put it up 2 days ago - was driving today - went around a corner and my Garmin flew all over the dashboard, hit the window then into the floorboard. I thought it lost suction, but it was the actual unit itself. The rubber piece that attaches to the window broke away from the part that attaches to the GPS. Obvious poor construction - can't be fixed

good product
By Krzysztof Ziolkowski
Direct replacement, same share as firstborn that came w/ the GPS. Please note tho, be careful when you pull the suction cup off the windshield on a hot day, you may end up stripping the rubber suction portion off the plastic. Instead, learn from me and use the provided tab to peel it off and not pull like me. This buy was my substitute for this mistake. Works great, just don't pull on the thing, use the peel tab.

Works, but doesn't like the heat
By Lost Alpinist
The suction mount does what it's supposed to do. It'll grab onto any nonporous, flat surface and provide a firm mounting emplacement for assorted of the Garmin GPS models (I am personally using a c550). However, a bit of caution ought to be exercised if this is applied on a window and left there while driving in locatings of high heat. I am just regarding ready to order my second substitute suction mount because the rubber suction cup has been adhering to the window by melting the rubber. The suction cup remains permanently fixed to the window until it's pushed or pulled from it is position. After which there is a nice black ring of rubber left on the surface of the window. After the melted rubber has been removed, the suction cup no longer holds suction on any surface. The seal (or lack thereof) generated by the irregular surface of the suction cup perimeter is no longer sufficient to help the GPS. I may consider picking up a friction-weight mount for the dashboard next time.
